Beach Boys Show in Syracuse This Weekend Has Been Cancelled

If you had tickets for The Beach Boys concert in Syracuse this Sunday there's bad news to report: the show has been abruptly cancelled according to the venue's website. 

The announcement came this afternoon, just two days before the show was supposed to happen, this Sunday, at the Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview.

Live Nation has given no reason for the cancellation, in fact, The Beach Boys show in Albany tonight is reportedly going on as scheduled, according to The Palace Theatre. Next week's July 6 show at CMAC in Canadaigua is also scheduled to play as scheduled, according to their website. John Stamos is scheduled to appear with the band, on drums, in Canadaigua.

"As The Beach Boys mark more than a half century of making music, the group continues to ride the crest of a wave unequalled in America’s musical history. The Beach Boys – who have become synonymous with the California lifestyle and an American icon to fans around the world – are bringing “The Sounds of Summer” tour to cities around the globe.

Since the band’s co-founder, lead-singer and chief lyricist Mike Love penned the lyrics to The Beach Boys’ first hit,“Surfin’” (1961), dozens of the bands chart toppers have become eternal anthems of American youth: “Surfin’ USA,” “Surfer Girl,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “Barbara Ann,” “Good Vibrations,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Rock and Roll Music” and “Kokomo.”

The Beach Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide and have received more than 33 RIAA Platinum and Gold record awards. The Rock And Roll Hall of Famers where also honored at the 2001 Grammy Awards with the Lifetime Achievement Award. With more than five decades of touring under their belts, The Beach Boys have performed more concerts than any major rock band in history.

The Beach Boys are led by legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Grammy® winner, New York Times best-selling author, co-founder, lead singer, chief lyricist of The Beach Boys, and 2025 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Mike Love, who, along with longtime member Bruce Johnston, musical director Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy Leago and John Wedemeyer continue the legacy of the iconic band."

Brian Wilson, who was not scheduled to appear on any of the current tours, passed away on June 11.
